9.6 Extended Zoom Mode („Ex“)
In extended zoom mode the zoom position of the main reflector ቫ is reduced to
one level below the focal length of the camera lens. The resulting expanded and
broader light coverage provides additional dispersed light (reflections) inside
rooms so that a softer flash illumination is possible.
Example:
The focal length of the camera lens is 50 mm. The extended zoom mode sets a
35 mm reflector position on the flash unit. However, 50 mm continues to be
shown on the display.
Setting procedure
• repeatedly press button combination „Select“ until „Zoom“ appears in the
display and „Ex“ flashes. The required settings can be applied using the ( + )
and ( - ) buttons.
- When „Ex On“ is displayed, the extended zoom mode is activated.
- When „Ex OFF“ is displayed, the extended zoom mode is deactivated.
The setting takes effect immediately. After about five seconds the display stops
flashing and the setting is saved automatically. After activation of the extended
zoom mode „Ex“ appears in the display.
Depending on the system, the extended zoom mode is supported for lens
focal lengths of 28 mm or more (35mm format). The camera must be
equipped with a CPU lens and be able to transfer data on the lens focal
length to the flash unit.
9.7 Meter-feet changeover („m“ / „ft“)
The maximum flash range indicated by the flash unit’s display can either be
shown in metres or feet.
Setting procedure
• Press the button combination „Select“ until the only the distance dimension „m“
or „ft“ flashes. Apply the setting desired with the buttons ( + ) and ( - ).
☞
- When „m“ is displayed, the distance display is in metres.
- When „ft“ is displayed, the distance display is in feet.
The setting takes effect immediately. After about five seconds, the display stops
flashing and the setting is saved automatically.
9.8 Synchronisation on the second curtain (REAR)
Several cameras feature second curtain synchronisation (see 11.3)
Setting procedure
• actuate the shutter release in order to transfer data from the flash unit to the
camera.
• repeatedly press button combination „Select“ until only „REAR“ appears flas-
hing in the display.
• the required settings can be applied using the ( + ) and ( - ) buttons.
- when„REAR On“ is displayed the second curtain synchronisation is activa-
ted (REAR-mode).
- when„REAR Off“ is displayed the second curtain synchronisation is deacti-
vated.
The setting takes effect immediately. After about 5 seconds the display stops flas-
hing and the setting is saved automatically. „REAR“ is shown in the display follo-
wing activation of the second curtain synchronisation.
Second curtain synchronisation cannot be activated when the flash unit is
set to high-speed synchronisation FP or HSS (see 7.3).
9.9 Shooting format adjustment (S Zoom)
Upon request, it is possible to adjust the display for the position of the main
reflector with the Zoom Size function to the FourThirds system.
Setting procedure
• actuate the shutter release in order to transfer data from the flash unit to the
